Every time I have a brilliant idea for an erotic story, I find out that the idea has already been done in some French film made about thirty years ago. Grrr.

Why are the French so good at sex? Anyone?

Because the Eiffel tower is a huge phallic symbol. It's in their face 24/7..those bastards!

My Persian friend who had a great lover who was French, said he learned from his mother (not through incest, she seemed to think French women taught their sons what women needed, very deliberately too). So thank you, French mama's!

Yeah, French films of two or three decades ago are much better than lately.

p.s. plus they're so full of themselves of course they'd be good at sex.
 
And because when your language includes that many fancy tongue manuevers, where else is your mind going to be?
 
It is a question of attitude.

French children are taught to be polite to each other. French girls are taught how to dress, how to move, how to please a man.

French boys are taught that French girls expect to be wooed and that the girls have high standards.

That makes either sex devastating when they meet other countries' nationals.

For example:

French boys are a hit with English girls. Apart from being exotic, they actually talk to girls and get down to actions far faster than the English.

French girls are a hit with English boys. Again they are exotic but a French accent in a sexy whisper is irresistible. The English boys treat the French girls like goddesses.

Of course, like all generalisations it doesn't apply to all at all times. It applies often enough to make French/English interaction interesting.

That must make us Canadians even better. Our phallic symbol is even bigger.

It's also placed right next to a huge vaginal symbol.

No wonder it never goes limp.
 
rg, what are these two symbols? I know nothing of Canada but Vancouver and Glenn Gould.

As a blind guess, the vaginal symbol is maybe Niagara Falls?

:confused: :rolleyes:

I have no idea, but I hope that it dosnt' deter you from writing the story.

It's good to bring old ideas to new audiences. (besides there are no new ideas)

They would be the CN Tower and the SkyDome.

Pierce, I agree with you about Quebecois women. They have a style and sensuality rarely displayed by women here in Hogtown.

I've found, that as a whole, European men are much more considerate than American men. I'm not downing you guys from here in the states, I promise :kiss:, because I've had some wonderful American lovers, but just as a whole, the men I've loved from Europe were very focused on pleasing me before themselves........(of course, I realize, before anyone jumps all over me, that it works both ways)

Thanks, sweet -- you're right. Actually, "Secretary" was a pretty blatant rip off of an old French film, didn't stop it being good.

Charley, thanks for those ideas -- they were good. I'm working on a different story, though, which is BDSM, so I doubt if you'd be able to help me on that one.

It is a matter of language. George Orwell's NewSpeak was a perfect example of the control of thought by language; if there isn't a word for it, there isn't the concept (see also Babel 17 by Samuel R. Delany).

In French the verb baiser does double duty for both "kiss" and "fuck". It is perfectly normal to use baiser to tell a small child to kiss her mummy's friend goodnight, and later to invite the same mummy's friend into mummy's bed and body.

This means the French regard sex as normal, not dirty, naughty, forbidden, exciting, or any of the other hangups the anglophones have. It also explains why French girls do not kiss boys quite as readily as American ones do. I don't quite know how this fits with their menfold kissing as a greeting!
 
Re: Re: Damn those French

Interesting post, there, snoop. I think you must be right about the language.

P.S. I've got a menfold.

The Skydome opens and closes like a well lubed vagina, as for the CN tower, it is most definately a penis on Viagra!

What's with the revolving restraunt, would it be classified as a vibrator? lol

T. O. is too busy for the relaxed atmosphere of Quebec. Everyone is in a hurry even if they really arent. In Quebec, they take their time, except when driving, it must be the European coming out in them. lol

I always love to visit Quebec, actually heading there in three weeks with 74 , 13 and 14 yr olds! ( Who has stupid written on her forehead?) I cant wait to go back.

Salute!

A cock ring perhaps, or a French tickler?

Amen, sister. One of the main things I dislike about Hogtown. But there's so much to do here.
 
Two hours due West of T.O.- too big a city for me to live in but its cool to visit, as long as its not being summonsed to the supreme court as a witness. Great trip, just not the best circumstances.

ps we won! lol
 
Two hours to Calais; three hours to Paris.

Why buy expensive wine in the UK when better wine is half (or less) the price in France.

Why eat an Englishman's idea of French cooking when you can eat real French cooking on a evening trip?

Why go to London for good French cheese when you can go to Boulogne market?

Why chat up an expatriot Frenchman when you can see them on their home turf? Practise your French and see the difference in the way French people react. Your French may not be perfect but you have made the effort to communicate in their language.

As for the start of this thread - use the plot anyway. Very few will recognise it, particularly if you leave out the long brooding silences while the cameraman films symbolic scenery.

For the same reason that town twinning visitors buy Camembert in supermarkets in the UK to take home to Flers d'Orne. "All the best is exported."
